Abstract
A training machine provides two independently operable resistance systems for providing resistance to the upper and lower body of a user and to enable training equivalent to circuit training in a small amount of time. A first resistance system provides training resistance to the upper body and comprises a first resistance member with handles coupled thereto. A second resistance system provides a second training resistance to the lower body, and comprises a seat support and a seat, the seat having a first position with a first potential energy and a second position having a second potential energy, the differential providing the second training resistance. Handles are each independently coupled to the first resistance member by a cable fed through a pulley to a cable reel assembly so as to enable the user to operate the handles separately from each other and in any direction.

25. An exercise machine comprising:
-
a base frame for supporting the exercise machine on a floor surface;
a supporting frame for supporting a seat moving thereon, wherein the supporting frame and the base frame are pivotally joined;
a lifting device operatively connected between the supporting frame and the base frame for adjusting the angle of the supporting frame relative to the base frame;
a first resistance system for providing a first training resistance to an upper body of a user, the first resistance system comprising a first resistance member and one or more handles coupled to the first resistance member;
one or more foot platforms connected to the base frame; and
an open area being defined above the base frame and between the supporting frame and the foot platform, the open area providing step-through access to the seat. - View Dependent Claims (26)

29. An exercise machine comprising:
-
a base frame for supporting the exercise machine on a floor surface;
a supporting frame for supporting a seat moving thereon, wherein the supporting frame and the base frame are pivotally joined;
a lifting device operatively connected between the supporting frame and the base frame for adjusting the angle of the supporting frame relative to the base frame;
a first resistance system for providing a first training resistance to an upper body of a user, the first resistance system comprising a first resistance member;
a right and a left cable-reel assembly, respectively, each right and left cable-reel assembly being functionally engaged with the first resistance system, the right and left cable-reel assemblies operating independently of one another; and
a right handle and a left handle, the right and left handles each being separately coupled to the first resistance member via a right and a left cable, respectively, so as to enable independent operation of the right and left handles through a user defined path.
